the most moronic I have ever read on this forum. GUTLOAD=FEED, who gives a rat's arse what you call it. Feed crickets every day....HEALTHY NUTRITIONAL CRICKETS. Starve crickets and feed only just before feeding off....NUTRITIONALLY DEFICIENT, UNHEALTHY FOOD ITEMS. NUTRITIONAL CRICKETS=HEALTHY MONITOR. NUTRITIONALLY DEFICIENT CRICKETS=UNHEALTHY MONITOR.

I agree it's kinda moronic, to make such a big deal about it. To tell people not to 'gutload', when I for one, thought that meant, to feed them well, is the moronic part. How many people actually go and look up the definition of the word 'gutload', before feeding their crickets? I know I didn't. I figured, once I get them home, I provide them with plenty of nutritious food, then they can cram as much as possible in their gobs, so they're fat and juicy by the time they become dinner.
Not all petstores bother to feed their crickets well, as I've noticed when I get them home,they huddle around the feed source and water, as if they had either been overcrowded, or just not provided enough good food. In this case, I can only see 'gutloading/feeding well', as a positive thing.
